CAMBRIDGE,
Mass. - The Quinnipiac University men's ice hockey team defeated
Harvard, 3-1, at the Bright Hockey Center in Cambridge, Mass. to
end a four-game losing streak that dated back to Nov. 23. The ECAC
Hockey win brings Quinnipiac to 8-8-1 overall and 4-5-1 in league
play while Harvard drops its eighth straight game to fall to 2-8-0
overall and 2-7-0 in ECAC Hockey action.

Quinnipiac
benefited from goals from a two-point night from Jeremy Langlois
(Tempe, Ariz.), who had a goal and an assist. Clay Harvey (Gull
Lake, Saskatchewan) scored the Bobcats' first goal of the game,
while John Dunbar (Calgary, Alberta) scored the go-ahead goal in
the second period. Quinnipiac ran its unbeaten streak when leading
after two periods to 61 games (56-0-5), dating back to the 2007
ECAC Hockey Tournament Champinship game against Clarkson. Goalie
Eric Hartzell (White Bear Lake, Minn.) stopped 34 shots in goal to
improve to 5-1-0 on the season. The win was also Quinnipiac's first
regular-season win at the Bright Hockey Center in program
history.

"I thought
that was a big win for us, we needed that after the last couple of
weeks," head coach Rand Pecknold said. "I thought we did a nice job
tonight, and I thought [Eric] Hartzell was very good tonight. He
kept it simple."

Harvey put
the Bobcats on the board with is fourth goal of the season nine
minutes into the game. Zach Hansen (White Bear Lake, Minn.) handled
the puck just above the blue line in the Bobcats' defensive zone
and sent it up the boards. After a Harvard defenseman knocked the
puck down, Kellen Jones (Montrose, British Columbia) center a pass
to twin brother Connor. Connor then found Harvey streaking to the
slot when he picked up the pass and beat Harvard goalie Kyle
Richter to give the Bobcats a 1-0 lead that would stand through the
first period.

Harvard tied
the goal at the 5:06 mark of the second period when the Bobcats
failed to clear the puck out of their defensive zone. Hartzell
stopped the Crimson's first two shots before a shot by Eric Kroshus
beat the sophomore goalie to tie the game. Alex Killorn picked up
an assist on the play.

Dunbar put
the Bobcats back out in front with his fourth goal of the year.
Dunbar control of the puck in the neutral zone, dropped a pass to
from Langlois, who gave it back to Dunbar. Dunbar skated to the
post closest to him and slipped it past Richter to give Quinnipiac
a one-goal lead, 2-1, with a little more than 10 minutes to play in
the second period.

Langlois
added a goal of his own, his fifth of the season, at the 4:26 mark
of the third period. Yuri Bouharevich (Montreal, Quebec) sent a
pass to Mike Dalhuisen (Nymegen, Hollan) who hooked up with
Langlois. Bouharevich picks up his team-leading ninth assist and 12
point while Dalhuisen converts on his second assist of the season
as Quinnipiac took a two-goal lead, 3-1.

Quinnipiac
